Ally and her big sister Laura move to Cali for their new jobs. Laura works for a local Radio station and Ally is a Photographer for the Alt. music industry. What Ally didn't expect,was to reconnect with her old friends Mitchel cave,his brother,and t...
I carried my last box and bag into the new house and grabbed a snack from the kitchen,and sat on the couch with my sister Laura. "So. Whatcha think Kid?" She asked. "I think it's LA and they don't know what's coming for them." I replied with an optimistic smile,through my exhaustion. She smiled and ruffled my hair and grinned. "That's the spirit!" She beamed!
I finished eating and I grabbed my last box and bag from the table and carried it up to my new room. I unpacked and started setting up my room when Laura popped in. "Stuffed crust meat lovers with Pineapple right?" She asked. I grinned. "Fuck yes!" I replied brightly. She grinned. "Be right back." She replied,and ran out.
~later~
My sister and I finished our extra large pizza and turned on our favorite movie. "You excited for work tomorrow?" She asked. "Yea! I get to shoot for some local alt music and alt fashion magazines! Gonna be real fun!" I beamed! "Agreed! I can't wait to start at the station tomorrow." "I get to interview all sorts of artists,give advice on some radio show. And play all our favorite music!" She beamed!
"And I'll be listening as I drive from location to location!" I beamed! She high fived me. "Do you think you'll meet anyone?" Laura asked me. "Honestly? I hope not. I don't really want to be in a relationship right now. But making new friends,that's what I'm hyped for." I replied. She nodded.
"But... just... what if... ya know? Even if you don't want a relationship... what if you do meet the one?" She asked. I thought about it. "I don't know... we'll see what happens." I replied. There was a silence. "You're still not hung up on him... are you?" My sister asked. I laughed. "No of course not! God, just the thought of him makes me wanna pound his face into the gravel." I replied. Laura laughed. "That's my boss little sister." She replied,hugging me.
"Now let's go night exploring. I know you won't sleep unless we do." She replied. I nodded and got my jacket and shoes on. I grabbed my camera bag,and we walked out,and got in the car.
We arrived in the inner city and walked around. I took photos as we walked around till we made our way back to the car.
~The next morning~
I arrived at the photo studio and walked. "Oh! Bonjour Ma Belle! You must must be the Spectacular Ally!" A girl at the front desk beamed! "Ouí! That's me!" I replied brightly! "je m'appelle Katey!" The girl replied.

"Bonjour!" I replied brightly! "Just follow me." She said. She showed me around the building,until we walked into the shooting room.
"I can definitely see why you shoot in here! View if the city like this! It's so lovely!" I said in awe. "Agreed!" Katey beamed! I heard the door bell ring. "Oh! That's our first client for their shoot! You'll be shooting alright?" Katey asked me. "I was born ready!" I replied excitedly! "That's the first day spirit! I like you so much already! We're gonna be best friends!" She giggled!
She walked back downstairs and I turned up the music just a tad,and it was Why Worry,by my favorite band, Set It off. A second later,the door opened behind me. "Voíla! Have fun Ally! And guys,be nice,she's a freshie!" Katey said. "I'll be downstairs if ya need a friend!" She said brightly. I couldn't speak. I just nodded and Katey went downstairs.
I grabbed my camera and my hand wouldn't stop shaking. "Hey you okay?" Mitchel asked. "Uh... yea nah yea mate I'm... I'm great! Must be first day nerves!" I replied with a forced smile as I shook my hands out to stop their shaking.
We started shooting. "So what got you into photpgraphy?" Clinton asked. "Long story short,it was a guy friend in high school who loved it,and his mates wouldn't ever let him talk about it much,so we met in class and we just kinda clicked ya know?" I replied.
"What do you mean long story short?? Give us the story!" Mitchel said with a grin. I snapped another photo. "Guy's name was Clinton. Huge fuckin music and art nerd. Has a little brother. Also, a huge music nerd." "They were great guys. We used to chill in the Music room during lunch." "Clint would teach me all about the editing and production things he'd learned that weren't covered in class." "Never saw that kid without a bandana on his head though. But he thought he looked hella kickass. So I defended him when his mates teased him." I explained.
Katey popped in. "WRAP!" she yelled. "Already?" I asked. "Oh no. I just like telling it when coworkers bring in burritos and wraps for brunch and dinner. Austin brought chimichangas." "Come and grab them before these roos here wolf them down like they've got marijuana munchies." She giggled,putting the platter down.
We all grabbed some. "So. Keep going." Mitchel replied.
